Chapter 89 Expensive Fees

Maybe it was because she had been exhausted for the whole night, she did not look good all night. Sitting next to her, Scott looked at her eating noodles, feeling both grateful and pitiful.

However, it was obvious that Scott was not used to the food in this kind of small restaurants. He didn't even move the bowl of noodles, but just smelled delicious.

After the incident last time, Scott swore that he would never eat the food outside again. Either went to the luxury hotel or went home for meal.

When he paid the bill, Scott gave the other one hundred dollars, but the other's 88 dollars was greasy, so he gave up directly.

Although Michelle was somewhat unconscious, she still knew what happened to Scott. She took 12 dollars out of her bag and gave it to the owner, and then the owner returned the 100 dollar back.

"Boss, just leave it to me."

He took the money but didn't plan to put it in his purse. But he knew that Michelle didn't like to waste money.

After returning to the ward, Scott had disappeared. Sitting on the empty bed opposite, Michelle frequently looked at the empty corridor.

Did he leave?

And Olivia had already fallen asleep. The liquid medicine in the infusion bottle dripped into the tube one by one. The space seemed to be back to normal again.

Michelle was lying on the bed, her eyes squinting. She looked very calm.

At this time, the slight sound came to her ears and she woke up.

When she opened her eyes, she found that it was Scott who brought her a fruit basket.

"Boss, thank you so much. It costs too much." She stood up and said with a frown.

"Nothing." Scott smiled and pulled out a chair from the bottom of the bed. He looked at Olivia who was sleeping and said to Michelle, "You can sleep now. I'm here with you."

"How can I? The company still need you and you can't work in the hospital. " After hearing this, Michelle was so frightened that her eyes widened. However, her voice was still so weak, as if she would fall at any time.

If it was a boss's concern for his employees, he had done what he should do. However, what he was going to do next made her feel flattered.

Was he really a good boss as her mother said? So what about the scene I saw in the company?

In the eyes of others, Scott was a playboy.

But on second thought, he did have helped her a lot. After getting along with him for many times, she swore that she was almost attracted by him, but it was only half.

"I came here because I had nothing to do in the company. You skipped work for no reason, which gave me a headache." Scott didn't want her to know what he said when she didn't come to the company today, at least not now.

The most important thing right now was to maintain a good image in front of her.

"I'm sorry, boss. I didn't mean it. Is it too late to ask for leave now? There are only mother and me in this family. No one looks after my mother except me. "

It was at this time that she remembered her mistake. Because she was so busy, she even forgot to call her boss to ask for leave. But judging from the current situation, the salary won't get the cut?

"I didn't say that I won't give you the time to leave." Scott said seriously.

"That's good." She breathed a sigh of relief.

"But you must promise that you will have a good rest during this period. I don't want to see a sick employee work under my watch." Scott ordered.

"No problem!" Michelle smiled and made an OK gesture to Scott.

Looking at her, Scott couldn't help laughing.

After the infusion, Michelle went out to order a take out. Her mother could not sit, so she had to feed it to her.

Sitting aside, Scott watched the scene quietly and didn't have the heart to disturb them.

Sunshine fell on her through the gap of the curtain. Her haggard face looked pitiful.

It was not the first time he had seen her being so gentle, but every time it was as if she had been stabbed in the heart.

After dinner, Olivia and Scott chatted for a while before she went to the physical therapy. Michelle struggled to support her mother and let her sit on the wheelchair. Seeing this, Scott hastened to help.

To be honest, with the help of Scott, Michelle felt that the pressure she endured has slightly diminished. She turned her head and looked at the sculptural handsome face of Scott, and her heart was filled with comfort.

First of all, regardless of his identity and status, now he was just a man who was willing to help her.

After Olivia went into the physical therapy, Michelle and Scott waited at the door. They sat on the bench and said nothing.

The phone in the pocket suddenly rang and broke the silence.

Scott glanced at the caller and then looked at Michelle who was sitting beside him. Michelle smiled and said, "you can go."

He took the phone and walked to the end of the corridor. The phone was still ringing. Scott pressed the answer key quickly and answered in a very serious tone, "speak."

"Boss, something has happened in the HL Property project!" The man who spoke was the assistant. Although it was just a call, Scott could still feel the fear in the other's heart. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

It seemed that something serious had happened.

After hanging up the phone, Scott looked so calm. He walked over to Michelle and said calmly, "you can call me if you need money."

After saying that, Scott left without looking back.

Before she could answer, Michelle could only look at his back as he hurried away and muttered to herself, "is the accident?"

General Hospital, originally narrow and quiet, became crowded and lively because of his arrival and leaving. A group of nurses stood on tiptoes and leaned over the window. They even had forgotten their work and wished they could go out of the window.

"You are so obsessed with a man! Don't you want this job?" The nurse with a big belly shouted at the others, which scared them to go away.

She was the head nurse. Although she was pregnant, it was a difficult job to manage the new nurses.

As darkness fell, a day passed.

Olivia had slept. After a whole day's work, Michelle suddenly couldn't be asleep. She tucked her mother in and tiptoed to the window. She crossed her arms, watching the beautiful night scene of the city.

When she saw her mother fall to the ground in pain, her heart was almost broken. She was really afraid that her mother would leave her like her father whom she had never met before.

Humans were very fragile animals. As long as they were not careful enough, they would be smashed to pieces. She had never had this kind of feeling because of her mother's protection before. But now, she was deeply touched.

Today, looking at his back, she was a little disappointed.

Sometimes, you get used to the feeling of being with another person. Once he or she is away, it will be hard for you to adapt. Because you have become accustomed to him.

At the cost of the expensive medical fees, Michelle just couldn't stand it anymore.

The cost of a day in General Hospital was almost 1000. The money she paid could only last for three days. No one knew what would happen three days later.

The next morning, as usual, the doctor began to examine.

"Is it okay?"

Olivia nodded, lying on the bed.

Then the doctor began a range of treatment. The acupuncture, the remove of the fire pot, and Michelle standing nearby felt it very shocking.

These days, Scott did not come, and the condition of her mother was much better than before. And the money spent was not in vain.

On the fourth day, the mother and the daughter were eating the delivery food at noon. A nurse came in with a printed receipt, clearly printed the cost of the past few days.

"Pay the money if you have time," After saying that, the nurse left without looking back.

Michelle lost her appetite at the sight of the receipt. How could Olivia not know the real meaning hidden in her daughter's expression?

"Michelle, mom has money in my card. The password is your birthday."

"Mom, don't worry. I have money." She tried to comfort her mother by giving her a pat on the back of her hand.

When she saw the forced smile on Michelle's face, she felt heartbroken, but she had to compromise.

When Michelle stood up with the receipt in her hand, she saw Scott, his hand with something, walking towards them.

As their eyes met, Michelle ran away again.

"Auntie, I'm busy these two days, so I don't have time to visit you." He put the bags on the table. He glanced at Michelle in front of him and sat down on the chair.

"Mom, I'll go first." At this moment, Michelle didn't know what to say to him. She happened to be busy with something, so she had a reason to leave.

"Michelle, he is not easy to come here. And it's your boss..."

"Aunt, it's okay." Scott looked at Olivia and said softly.

Without saying anything else, Olivia chatted happily with Scott. At this moment, Michelle who was standing next to them felt that she suddenly became an outsider.

She didn't interrupt them.

Michelle had to pay the bill in a line. When it was her turn to pay, she handed the bill to the nurse, who had paid the bill and said, "pay 5000 dollars."

Michelle thought that she had misheard, so she asked again, "how much?"

"5000. The doctor has arranged for five days. The rest is the fees for examination, treatment and medicine." The nurse explained to her patiently about the source of the expenses.

"Sure. By card?" Michelle asked in a low voice.
